This national position statement on #transition is a Call 4 Action to address system barriers & improve outcomes for youth. We are advocating for more flexible age cut offs for transfer, considering each youth’s developmental stage and capacity, as well as individual family needs
Youth with complex health care needs often face poor outcomes after transitioning from paediatric to adult care. Learn how physicians can help in a new statement from our Adolescent Health Committee: cps.ca/en/documents/position… @DrAleneToulany @drmeg613 #ChildHealth #HealthCare

"Too many people dismiss the impact on children, claiming they are 'resilient' and will 'bounce back'." Are we doing everything we can to protect children and youth before it's too late? @Sflecce @fordnation @PattyHajdu bbc.com/news/amp/health-5586…

These 14 women were murdered 30 years ago at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Their deaths robbed us of their limitless potential and bright futures. It is more than time for change. We can and we must put an end to gender-based violence. bit.ly/2OTdDBL

Actually he killed himself. The miracle is that he was allowed to buy 42 guns and countless ammunition. teapawt.net/realdonaldtrump/status…
It is a "miracle" how fast the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were able to find the demented shooter and stop him from even more killing!
